Great place in Clemson! Good, service and prices were all aligned for an excellent experience!

My favorite place to dine while in Clemson! My husband and I go Friday nights and sit at the bar for dinner. Andy is a wonderful bartender. Friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. His cocktails are fabulous! We always start with One of their delicious salads. I like the spinach salad the best. My husband usually gets the Greek. Then we get an appetizer to share. Does not matter which appetizer they are all amazing and then we get our entrées. Usually one of the steaks or pasta or pork chop. I must say though I did get the Gracian salmon last time and it was fabulous! Do yourself a favor and run don't walk to pixie and BILL's for dinner! read more

Great service - shout out to Felder!! My steak was perfect and accompanying veggies were delicious. My only complaint is no Sauvignon Blanc from Australia. read more

One word. CHASTITY. She's a superstar waiter! She remembered my name from 1st visit in January 2019. You must ask for her! Trust me! Reads you like a book and knows how to make sure EVERYTHING is exceptional. Seriously! The food is classic steakhouse who excels in the disappearing art of a tender prime rib. Eved the bread o read more

Food was good. Service was slow. Dinner was a 3 hour - sometimes awkwardly slow- night. Yes, it was move -in week...but still disappointing. They said it was due to lack of kitchen staff. Waitstaff were friendly - just not at level you'd expect for the food choices/ prices. read more

We had a very average meal. The filet was overcooked, bacon wrapped scallops a bit burned, and really, iceberg lettuce in main entree salad? Yeah, we can find better food for the price. read more

Four of us for dinner. Really enjoyed the food. Blackened ribeye, black and bleu filet, lobster pasta, veal piccata all good. Appetizers were solid. Service was a bit off but don't expect that to be a pattern. read more

Just took the family here for a dinner. The menu looked amazing. The wife and I ordered the salmon special. One daughter ordered the lobster tail with portobello and shrimp dish and the other daughter had the blackened shrimp scampi. All 4 dishes experienced over cooked seafood. One daughter order a dessert and the rest of us each had an after dinner coffee. In addition I had two beers and the wife had a beer. Total cost was $202.00 with tip. Portions were small and did not include a dinner salad. I will say our waitress was exceptional. I did leave her a good tip for her efforts This place is costly for what you get. read more

Wanted to impress the new girlfriend for Valentine's Day. So naturally I called my mom. She went to Clemson in the eighties and had a few dates here then. I can confirm that the food is still as delicious as she says it was then. A bit pricey but I didn't complain at all since the food and wine menu was up to par (I'm not picky on wine but girlfriend is). Honestly, it makes a lot of other places seem like a waste of money. read more

Went to this restaurant for a birthday celebration with my daughter in college. It was a on a Wednesday evening it was steady busy but many tables were available as we walked in and sat immediately. We ordered and the waitress seem slightly frazzled by the look on her face . I asked why and she stated she couldn't get settled because they had been open over the weekend and she was all confused. (Apparently they are not open on Sundays but because of Valentines day they were) RE: the food Great bread and butter Bread appears freshly made and butter was slightly sweet My daughter and her friend liked their salads I personally felt it was lettuce with a glop of blue cheese and a wilted tomato slice.. they were unimpressive. Meals Ok first let me state that the meals are delivered on rolling carts -- almost like you would see at an office place. This is very odd to me . And for some reason I felt like we waited a long time and our waitress was no where to be seen.. again it was not that busy. I had fish cakes which were ok - came seasoned with capers, bed of spinach, along with sides of veggies and rice. Veggies were fresh and rice was ok However I probably wouldn't again Other meals were a grilled salmon and similar sides for my daughter ,, this appeared better and tasted better Last meal was a huge pork tenderloin glazed with a sweet type of barbecue style sauce accompanied by a heaping amount of mashed potatoes We waited and waited for the check, staff apologized for their poor timliness. Be careful because some of the staff were pushing those carts around like they were racing at the grocery store! We didn't get drinks or dessert nor did we get appetizers and the cost of the meal was over $70 .... ugh. I probably will not go back. My suggestion is to look elsewhere. read more

Great service and delicious food! The atmosphere was very pleasing! Appetizers, food, drinks, and desserts were amazing! Quick polite service from our waitress, Sarah Emily! read more

Don't waste your time. The place was dirty and the food was awful. The Appetizers were cold and the steak was over cooked. The owner came to the table and acted liked like it was my fault. Got an attitude and told me he didn't care that I was unhappy. Called me Bro and take my business elsewhere. Waste of time and money. read more

I was in Clemson and wanted to try local favorites. I evaded up stopping here and ordering food to go. The hostess was really helpful and even helped me decide which dish to get. I ended up with the chicken medallions over rice. The rice was really mushy but overall the dish was ok. Maybe it would've been better had I ate it there. read more

What a pleasant surprise! In Clemson for orientation, and decided, against our hotel front desks recommendation to give this place a try! It was great! Chastity is a breath of fresh air as a server. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. My son had the ribeye special and I had the lobster carbonara. They were both much more than we could eat. My only recommendation is that perhaps a little more salt in preparation and a bit brighter inside. We will definitely be back! read more

Cannot believe this place is so expensive for the subpar recipes from 30 years ago. They charge $3 for tiny iceberg salad on a little side plate. The salad should be included with the $28 steak, but it is not. Filet in red wine reduction sauce was more like a stew, fillet and entire plate was completely smothered in brown sauce with a few saggy potato slices under the fillet. The food/recipes are just not up to par. On the upside, the staff was friendly and they did not charge my wife for the fillet she did not eat, due to being under cooked and smothered not to her liking. read more

Edible food. Ridiculous prices. I didn't pay for my meal so not upset with my experience. Just not impressed.

I really wanted to like Pixie and Bill's, I really did. This restaurant came well-recommenced by the check-in desk at my midtown hotel. I wanted a steak on this Tuesday evening - Outback was about 11 miles away, and while I have always had good dinners there, I didn't feel like driving in the dark on a wet rainy evening. So, I went to the closer Pixie and Bill's. This is the kind of place with small candle lamps on the tables, the kind of place where everyone seems to be drinking a glass of red wine. Got the picture? Maybe it will suffice to say that the highlight of *my* meal was the baked potato with butter. Oh well! I had a house salad, which consisted mostly of iceberg lettuce with a sprinkling of small tomato pieces and cucumber. Nothing special, nothing to write home about, and the Greek vinaigrette was so-so. But, it's a house salad, and I kind of expected this sort of thing. No problem. Dinner, however, was definitely unexceptional. I had the steak with mixed carrots and broccoli on the side, and the aforementioned buttered baked potato. Let's start with the vegetables. Now, I know that kitchens these days are doing their best not to over cook the vegetables, but the carrots were practically raw and the broccoli was almost as badly underdone. The 12 ounce ribeye steak was certainly a good size, and it was well cooked to the desired doneness (medium rare). Unfortunately, it seems as though the seasoning had been completely omitted, not just lightly passed over the top of the meat, so I added a little salt and pepper from the table. I don't use steak sauce, so the lack of any mention (by the otherwise very helpful server) that it was available was not an issue for me. That underwhelming seasoning wasn't terrible, but it complemented the fact that the meat was tough! You know what I mean, the kind of meat where you take the steak knife (that is provided for the bread they serve before dinner), and then you hack the meat into small pieces so that you can chew those without difficulty. Overall, I'd give my experience a "Meh, I think I should have gone to Outback" kind of review. As always, your experience my be better than mine. Good luck! read more

More like Dixies and Wills!! I mean come on they run this place. The waiter told me that Bush did 9/11 and I really believed him, that is until I fact checked him with Snopes and Reuters. He was wrong. Get your money up not your funny up read more

My first visit to this place was a Corporate Christmas party, so you can imagine it was a big group. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to our large group. The waiter was very attentive to our needs. The food was amazingly good, out of everyone there I didn't hear one complaint about the food or the service. The only thing negative I could say was there was no parking available, however with it being Christmas season and many other parties going on at the same time, that's to be expected. I will be returning with my family! read more

The Place Pixie & Bill's is right on Clemson Blvd in Clemson, Sc. The is has a nostalgic old river boat feel to it. Overall there is a large seating area with mainly tables that can be configured to accommodate medium sized groups. We were there for lunch right before closing. We sat at a table in the bar area. The Menu/Food The lunch menu has a very good offering to choose from but I didn't see any gluten free offerings or anything that looked like the ultra healthy eater might enjoy besides a salad. We had the Philly Cheese Steak with seared onions & peppers on sub roll and a Grilled Chicken club on bun with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and Swiss. The Philly cheese steak was very good as was the chicken club although the cheese was a little over powering. The Service/Experience/Value Our service was slow especially since it was before lunch closing... thought they might be all over our table just to get us moving. The prices are in line for the meal served although I can see were some might find them a little on the higher side of average. Overall a good dining experience for lunch that I would recommend you try. read more

Pixie & Bill's was very disappointing. Me and my family had a sub-par meal with sub-par service. The atmosphere was a little confused and strange. The bread that we were served at the beginning of our meal was not very good at all. For the appetizer, we ordered the Lobster Bisque, due to several positive reviews talking about it. I was expecting to be wowed by the soup, however, I was underwhelmed. It was JUST ok. Big chunks of lobster claw meat in an over-salted base. I also ordered a house salad with the HOMEMADE Red Peppercorn Ranch, which was delicious. For dinner, my mother and I ordered the Twin Filet and Shrimp Special with a Cajun Cream Sauce, and my father and brother ordered the Prime Rib. The filet was cooked well and was perfectly tender and juicy. The cajun cream sauce was also delicious, however the shrimp were a little over-cooked and rubbery. The Prime Rib came out COLD, like ICE cold. I don't know how long the plates of food had been sitting before being brought out, but it was very surprising to be served cold prime rib. In terms of the service, the manager was very friendly and helpful. Yet, the service was quite slow. It took 15-20 minutes for drinks to come out. Overall, we were very disappointed in the food that we had recieved at a higher price point. We all agreed that we would've been happier eating elsewhere! read more

You don't reserve seats at the bar. If we sit down at the bar don't tell us later that those seats are reserved for someone else. And they had problems parking. There were plenty of parking spots available. Very disappointing. Won't be back. read more

I was in town for an event and decided Pixie and Bills looked promising and a worker at the holiday inn concurred. We arrived at 5:30 and was told only one table out front wasn't reserved. We took this as a promising sign. When we were seated we found a thick layer of dust and dead gnats around us, though the glass was sparkling. Ordered lobster, shrimp and portobello pasta and chicken. Service was excellent. A loaf of bread arrived covered in margarine. Food was delivered on tacky carts piping hot, and sadly bland and all shellfish so overcooked it was hard to chew. Portabello means 3 strips and lots of buttons. all that glitters is n o t gold read more

What can I say but seriously disappointed. The place itself is drab and reminiscent of a ships cabin. A dirty, dilapidated, haunted ships cabin. Not to be ageist, but the clientele was clearly living in their Golden Years. The cocktail menu is a joke. The handcrafted cocktails are all sugar and sweet and sour mix with the lovely splash of Sierra Mist. I started with a dirty gin martini. I'm sure they gave me vodka and the bartender (who wasn't a bartender), used way too much vermouth and it had a floral resonance that over powered the drink itself. I ordered a grilled portobello veggie sandwich with a cup of lobster bisque. The sandwich was delicious but the bisque was not edible. It was not creamy and buttery, sweet, or full of lobster. It tasted like gumbo roux with Old Bay Seasoning. Let's not even talk about the cafeteria carts those poor servers have to carry the food out on, it's embarrassing. The only thing that made it worth it was our server Chastity. She was helpful with recommendations, polite, and was attentive but not smothering. Kudos to you girl! read more

I want to start out by saying bravo for staying open for the many years that you have. I'm really not sure how you did it but bravo. Your restaurant wouldn't last 5 days in a town of any size. I was in from out of town with a wedding party, and you guys hosted the rehearsal dinner. I was told this is the finest place to eat in Clemson. We got to our private dining area and after setting up 7 more place settings ourselves, sat down. As we waited on the menus we slowly came to the conclusion that the menu was a chalkboard at the front of the room that no one could read. One of the rehearsal party hosts ended up walking the chalkboard around from table to table so that everyone could make their selection. Once the food started coming out we realized that we weren't all going to eat together. I was completely done eating by the time the food arrived for half of the dinner party. I know that you don't have a cruise ship sized kitchen and can only do so much with a large party so this sin was noticed but forgivable. What was not forgivable was the food. I ordered the surf and turf. I think menu price is around 25 dollars. The menu boasted beautiful medallions of beef accompanied by grilled shrimp a seafood cake and grilled vegetables. I ordered the beef medium rare. My "Medallions" were simply a strip of steak cut into pieces. I assume they cut it up so it would cook faster? I'm unsure as to why you'd do this to a steak. It was visually overcooked but I cut in anyway to discover a beautifully gray cold dried out selection of "Medallions". I then moved on to the shrimp. I believe that the shrimp were pretty well cooked before they sat on a plate for 10 minutes awaiting their trip to our table. I will never know however, as I didn't get to experience them at their peak. The fish cake \ crab cake \ seafood cake didn't disappoint. It was actually quite good. I would however recommend placing it on some sort of smear of sauce. Some sort of remoulade or what have you. To finish off the meal we have the grilled vegetables which were 3 rings of grilled zucchini. No complaints on zucchini. Technically 3 rings of zucchini are "Grilled Vegetables." Sadly I have no idea what was served for dessert. I had a 4 year old with me and after being in the restaurant for 2 hours already, she was ready to go and I couldn't blame her. I covered the food, now to the plating. If you aren't serving enough food to cover the plate, and you have no intention on prettying up the plate, use a smaller plate. It literally appeared that you grabbed whatever plate you had nearest and threw the food on as fast as possible. A smaller tighter plating also would have kept the food warmer longer. I plate food better at cookouts with friends...... I would be absolutely embarrassed to put food out as ill plated as you all did. In summary, you guys are prime candidates for Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. Again, I say bravo for being open as long as you have. I cannot fathom how you've done it but bravo. PS - And the prices? How on earth can you validate those prices for what you served us? read more

Mediocre at best. The Oysters Rockefeller had good flavor but were over cooked. Same was true for the salmon special. If I ever come back to Clemson I seriously doubt that I would eat here again. read more

We arrived at this restaurant and told them that we needed to be in and out in a hurry, and they seated us telling us that they could definitely fulfill our request. The service was very quick and the staff was friendly and attempted to improve our dining experience. I ordered the lobster carbonara, and my friend ordered a filet with a loaded baked potato. All of the entrees come with salads as a first course. The salad was well done and tasted quite fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed the lobster carbonara as each bite was a unique explosion of flavor in my mouth. I would definitely go back to this restaurant the next time I am in Clemson and looking for a quality meal. This place executed a quality meal in a brief amount of time, although they are most likely even better if you wait the ample amount of time. I definitely approve of this establishment! read more

We were pleasantly surprised to discover this high-quality restaurant. I got the veal pacta, which was fabulous! My husband got the blackened shrimp and scallops. He didn't leave a bite it was so delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

I stopped here while visiting Clemson. The atmosphere is friendly and nicer than that of a chain. I was greeted at the door and chose to sit at the bar as I was all alone. The bartender was super friendly and my food was served fast. I had the blackened ribeye which was cooked to perfection!! I highly recommend this establishment based on service, price and quality. read more

I've come to this place a few times with coworkers.  It always seems to be the default location for staff lunches.  I will admit, I have never left excited about what I had.  The food is a little bland, usually overcooked, and is always priced incorrectly.  Theres never any parking at lunch time and its so dark in the dining room it makes conversations across and down the table impossible. read more

My husband and I went here for my birthday dinner! I went to school at Clemson and had never been before, but always wanted to go. It did not disappoint! We had a great waitress, Megan. And I loved how our meal was timed out perfect, we never felt rushed as we went from our soup to salad to meal. We had the lobster bisque - be warned, when you order the bowl... you get a seriously huge bowl. This was the best part of our meal, the bisque was so rich and filling that I had trouble finishing everything else. Spinach salad, house dressing was good. And we split the seafare's platter. You can pay $8.00 for the split and they will go ahead and put it on another plate, plus that includes an extra salad and all the sides. The rice, zucchini, salmon, seafood cake, scallops, shrimp were all great (good thing we split!) it was SO much food. We didn't have any room for dessert but I am sure those would be wonderful as well. It was a little on the pricey side, but I'd say it was worth it for what we had and the experience there. I would go back for another special occasion. read more

This was a nice place with tasty food! The place had an old school vibe (in a good way). I got the Lobster Bisque with toasted pimento cheese on wheat. Both were very good. My daughter enjoyed her tuna salad wrap and my parent's Shrimp Po Boy was very good. It came with homemade fries which were really tasty. read more

Pixie and Bill's is a cute little date night spot not too far from Clemson's campus. I was in town and staying at the Hampton Inn nearby and the hotel staff suggested this place for dinner. It is one of the few "upscale" restaurants in Clemson, or at least that's what I was told. When I walked in I was immediately greeted and seated at the bar( I was alone). The bartender was nice although I would have preferred him to know a bit more about the wine list. I was slightly out of place in my very casual leggings and tennis shoes, and many guests at the restaurant were in dinner jackets or nicer clothes. I can tell its an old establishment type of place with probably very little students as patrons. I ordered some fancy named dish for scallops and pancetta, and I really enjoyed my dinner. It was seasoned well, but I did think the scallops were slightly overcooked. Either way, I would definitely head to this place again the next time I am in the area. read more

This is a solid choice for steaks and chops in a somewhat tony environment. I had the 14-oz (gasp!) prime rib dinner, which came with a green salad and a baked potato. This is the kind of meal that I have once in a blue moon, and it didn't disappoint me! The wine list could not be described as inspired, but it was OK. I ordered the 2007 Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon, which was priced @$39. It sells in wine stores for about half that price, or maybe a tad more. The Guigal Cotes du Rhone on the same list for $26 would have save us some money, but the Montes Alpha is arguably significantly better. You have to be in the right mood to want to go here, but I am confident that you'll have a good time and won't feel that you've been ripped off. read more

Loved this place so much that we went TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW during our stay in clemson. Food was great, and our server Amber was AMAZING. She gave great (and honest) descriptions of the menu items, was sweet and charming and very quick in tending to our requests. Seems like every time she walked away from a table the patrons had a big smile on their face. We will go out of our way to come back to this restauarant in the future just so we can dine with Amber Also- I highly recommend the filet medallions and crab meat entree!!! read more

Been here several times and it tends to be hit and miss. Probably dropping off my list for good, though. Food is decent, far from stellar, but not overly priced. Beer and win selection is the best thing about this restaurant. Bread served with the meal was old and stale. Literally slightly hard. Service is spotty when you have to hire college kids, but at a place like this, i expect much better service. Tonight was one of the worst for service. We thought we were treated bad, but we watched tables that were there before us not even get their order taken until our main course arrived--and of course the server forgot our appetizers. Will be trying another place next time in the area. read more

Finally had an opportunity to dine in this well known Clemson institution! Post graduation dinner didn't disappoint...mixed grill, filet medallions with scallops and crabmeat, and the prime rib special were all outstanding! Friendly, courteous and efficient service was provided by our server Eva. Our experience was wonderful on a very busy restaurant night for this lauded Clemson gem! Thank you! read more

AMAZING FOOD. I had the filet medallions topped with scallops & crab meat. IT. WAS. DELICIOUS. I would get it again. Also, the Tuna Spring Rolls, Broiled Oysters & bread were outstanding. ONE WORD, CHASITY!! The most sweetest waitress I have ever met & was on top of things! All in all, food is excellent JUST DONT BE IN A RUSH!! read more

Love this place - the menu is rather limited I think for lunch but their salads never dissapoint me! During busy lunch time service sometimes is annoyingly slow - i think it depends on who your server is that day: hit or miss! For dinner - I think it is the best place in Clemson. Save room for desert though... read more
